How to Move Schools Successfully
– A Free Guide

Welcome to Wycliffe sign illustration

Whether you’re looking to move your child’s school because you’re relocating or your child is unhappy where they are at the moment, the thought of changing school can be a daunting prospect for both parent and child. This is why we have created this guide to help you consider all the things you have to think about and do to ensure the change is a positive one.

Supporting You

Many children move school at some point in their life; in fact, it is actually more common than you think. It’s natural for children to change school when they reach a certain age, but they can move because of practical and emotional reasons too. Many families are making the decision to relocate from the city to the countryside and because of this we are likely to see a bigger increase in children moving schools too.

Whatever the reason, moving school can be an emotional time for children and it’s important that the transition to a new school is handled well to minimise stress and disruption.
